I feel very out of it right now. I just got back from the United Kingdom—London, specifically—on Sunday evening. No baseball for 10 days, and now there’s a bunch of baseball, and NFL football too! What a world.

Anyway, the Royals are facing the Twins, whose promising season has fell on its face. On July 5, the Twins stood 47-37 and in first place. It is now September 13, and the Twins have dropped three in a row to dip below .500 for the first time since April.

Can the Twins take advantage of a...poor...Royals team and get back in the race? We’ll see!
